55Wendy was a great host! She had a kiddie pool set up, a cooler with lots of snacks, water, toys, doggy treats, even a pup cup! The walking path to the fenced yard was parallel to a long stream. It’s not part of the fenced in area, but safe enough for the dogs to be off leash (with Wendy’s permission). Molly and Calvin had a blast running around the property. The fenced in yard included a short trails up the hill which circled back to the yard. Overall, an excellent Sniffspot with plenty to keep the pups happily occupied! Jamie M.

55I haven’t seen my dog this happy since moving to a place without a fenced yard for him . Even better is that the area is private and secluded so I was able to enjoy time with my dog without the worry of having to work him through his triggers. He was able to roll around and run as fast as he could. Katie R.

55This place is a hound’s dream! So much to sniff and explore. Made our dogs feel like they were loose in the woods without actually being loose in the woods! Our dogs and family had a blast. The best Sniffspot we have been to so far. We will definitely be back!! Brittany R.

55This space offers tons of room for our dogs to run. They especially loved swimming in the stream. The gentleman who welcomed us was very kind and I appreciated being shown the way since it was our first time. We gave our dogs a good run before checking out Skyline Drive. This Sniffspot is perfectly located for that type of day. Leanne D.

55Wendy is a responsive and welcoming host. There is a short hike to the farthest, private paddock and hiking trails. My two large dogs had fun playing and exploring. There are goats one paddock over, they were only a mild curiosity to one of my dogs. Heads up if livestock is a trigger for your dog. Peaceful place along a stream. We did not use the additional hiking trail, the fenced play area was exactly what I was looking for. We will be back! Elizabeth M.

55A very big, open, and fun spot for you and your dogs. Even though it was raining during our visit we still had a blast. I love that they provide toys and a long line leash if you need one. The pond is really nice and my dogs enjoyed running around and sniffing everything. We will definitely be back! Chelsea S.

Definitely the spot for water-loving dogs. The pond looked clean and my dog had a great time wandering around. The owners gave clear directions and were even nice enough to let us make up our time when we were late. Will definitely be coming back!Bryn B.

55We had the absolute best time! The dogs loved running around in the field to sniff and play fetch. The pond was also so much fun and my dog even swam for the first time! There were also some cold drinks for the humans and a hose to clean the dogs at the end. Such a great time!Jennifer H.

55A beautiful place for dogs to have fun. The hosts thoughtfully provide toys of all kinds, dog poop bags, with a bucket for disposal, a 30 foot lead line, water, and much more. My dogs especially enjoyed the pond, one even did some swimming. Susan H.

55Clean and big. The amenities (dog wash, toys, etc) are above and beyond. The pond looks perfect for doggy swimming--I hope to make use of that in future visits. Very quiet. Can't hear the highway, low-traffic street, and we didn't see or hear any people or animals at all. Big open grassy area for running, woodsy edges for sniffing. Nice clean property, no poop. Great experience.Laura S.

55It was really wet today when I went there but no fault of the owners. My dog enjoyed being off leash and the pond was really pretty cool. The owner was super nice leaving out a box of toys, the water bowl greeting us from an appropriately distanced CoVID safe place and making us feel welcome, pointing out where to park and walk. I would definitely recommend the spot and will come back here again. Even though there’s not a fence, it was plenty far enough away from any traffic down a country road and the neighbors and horses were of no distraction ... actually they weren’t out when we were there. Beautiful scenery and it was nice to get out of the city and have such an attractive destinations. Thank you so much!Harriet H.

55Great spot to spend hours hanging with your pup. Quite a few toys to throw around during the visit. Yard is very clean and free of hazards. Water bowls provided came in handy after a couple hours of running around. Adrian L.

FAQ about our Front Royal dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Front Royal area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 196 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 24 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
